Subject: [PATCH] scp: do not NUL-terminate the command for remote exec (#208)

It breaks SCP download/upload from/to certain server implementations.

The bug does not manifest with OpenSSH, which silently drops the NUL
byte (eventually with any garbage that follows the NUL byte) before
executing it.
